Elite -ist: The Columbus Day Edition

Lots of people are off work today, but the -ist-a-verse is still going strong...

Gothamist: Now that's an adorable squirrel.

Austinist: This is pretty damn brilliant.

SFist must be pretty damn bored.

Bostonist: Think of the uproar if they did that on SEPTA!

Parisist: Not much time left to get the "real" Paris experience. Go now, and bring a pack of unfiltereds.

Seattlest: Best. Headline. Ever.

Chicagoist: There should really be a social services department for pets, not just for kids.

Shanghaiist: Petrifying.

Houstonist: We might like this better than Banksy. Not because of more artistic merit, but because of more nostalgia.

Torontoist: And Philly? We're just a little of both.

Londonist: Quite possibly the best thing to happen to pop music in a long time.

DCist: We totally heart Tim Gunn.

LAist: This would only be cooler if you could then buy the action figures you make.
